barack obama was in a hard place six months ago. over the past six months, he has improved in terms of his approval rating, the right track numbers are moving in his direction, and the economy still seems to be getting a little bit better. there are a lot of surprises that could happen. there are many bad things that could happen that are very unpredictable. right now obama is in a stronger position than he has been in a year. republicans are in a weaker position. on both sides, especially with the reelection team, they expected to be a really close election. it will be very tight. any race like that, a very deeply divided country that we have, both sides will be heavily mobilized. it will be crazy to try to predict what the ultimate outcome will be. it will be fascinating to watch. >> the book is titled "game change."
